When Artspeak Is Applied to a Rock

It’s not clear what the point of this NYTimes Style section piece is but it quotes Christie’s Amy Cappellazzo at length about the hunk of quartz that sits on her desk:

“It’s pretty modest,” she said. “In a way, it is a dumb rock. But that is sweet. I kind of like that. So the thing is, it is totally phenomenological. Like, it is something if I think so: this dumb rock could actually be imbued with tremendous power if I wanted it to be.”
